I have come from somewhere else, where
I am Cree and I have a big sister
and another name.

The Bridge podcast with Nantali Indongo
Montreal advocate for Indigenous women and children, Na’kuset, and children’s book author Judith Henderson, have co-written I Am My Name — the powerful true story of Na’kuset’s life as a Sixties Scoop survivor.
The autobiographical picture book is illustrated by Vancouver-based artist, Shenoa Gao aka Onedove. It traces Na’kuset’s journey — taken from her Cree family as a young girl, along with thousands of other Indigenous children during the 1960s, growing up far from her roots, and finding her way back to her name, her culture, and her strength. Love, however, is at the center of the story and it spills over into this one hour, tearful conversation.
